There's a nice scene in the novel, "Border Songs," where some Canadians in a bar express gratitude for the U.S., since without it, no one would think Canada was "so nice, so beautiful, so rational." (or words to that effect).

The anti-Farrell sentiment in Toronto is a good thing. There hasn't been much edge to Toronto/Boston games in recent years. Their team is better, their attitude is worse, and these games are going to have some juice.
